MPZ-01 Saber Tiger is now March. Obviously more delays can (will) happen, and as far as I know these are the only kits en route. Obviously we're all hoping for Gojulas, Iron Kong, and of course Geruder. And War Dick.

This may be the first almost-done in-hand look at the team, and it ain't bad. You can see a bit of the Thunderwing head, and the vehicles (plus their Targetmaster buddies) all look pretty fantastic. As a not-club-member I'll be keeping an eye on the secondary market next year.

This more or less confirms the silhouette from a few months ago by giving us our first-look at the new Blurr, which seems to have the retro-futuristic car mode as well as a Headmasters gimmick/companion. It looks pretty awesome! Check it out - and don't forget Toy Fair is about 40 days away, so odds are a better picture is imminent.

Other big sets tend to be exclusive or shared exclusives, so expect this one to be mail-order or LEGO Store-only. The set includes 9 figures, a Batmobile, and a bunch of other bells and whistles. And yes, Alfred.

"Punch your way through waves and waves of enemies from all races in the universe as you travel through volatile and crazy wormholes, all rendered in high-quality 3D with a heart-pumping progressive soundtrack! Over 25 levels are awaiting you, filled with challenge and dangerous big boss encounters. And if that wasnÕt enough, three EPIC boss showdowns will test every space combat skill you have."

There are two flavors! The Figma A Link Between Worlds Link Action Figure is now slated for July. The regular version comes with a sword, shield, and tons of articulation - but another, exclusive version has bombs, hookshot, pot, rupees, and other stuff.

No word yet on who (if anyone) will sell it in the USA, but this is the closet thing to a The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past action figure we're likely to see any time soon. It'll probably be at least $50 in the USA, and I want one.

A great mix of things we've heard, and things we haven't. And some just make sense, like War for Cybertron being a G1 prequel and pretty much all of "Aligned" - Prime, novels, and so forth - not aligning well. It's absolutely worth a look today while you pretend that you're working.

"Jump in a space Cadillac and frag your way to victory against your friends, or fight the vicious AI to unlock the full crews roster, in the most frantic couch multiplayer neon fragfest for next-gen! Throw down the gauntlet in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, buckle up and get your space tires screeching in DeathRace, be the toughest defender in LastManStanding, show off your tricks in Space Soccer, or put your retrogaming skills to good use in Space Pong."

Via the Glyos News Dump: Onell x Rawshark x Music = This Record . If you collect vinyl music in addition to vinyl figures, this pieces features artwork from Jesse Moore and layout work from Onell Design's Marc Beaudette.

The 12-inch record comes in a random vinyl color - how's that for a chase piece? - and is $12. Yes I ordered one.

The really cool Glyarmor is back (and the painted one sold out), plus there was the first-ever painted version of the new Zeroids mold which you'll see more of from Toyfinity. (A flesh-colored one was sent as a sneak peek to Club Zeton members.)

"A Boy and His Blob makes its triumphant return! As the boy, you feed Blob jelly beans and watch him transform into cool and useful objects to solve puzzles and escape danger. With its robust and emotionally driven story, challenging puzzles, and visually impressive art style, A Boy and His Blob marks the re-release of this 2009 cult-classic!"

4 new molds are up for grabs in numerous decos - including glow-in-the-dark for the very first time.

4 painted dudes are $32 before shipping (sadly not included), and glow figures are 2 for $11. As I write this it's about $2,600 funded out of $16,500. In addition to figures, weapons are coming - and this is a kind of a big deal because there aren't many Glyos weapons that aren't also a limb or a backpack.

In the 1980s and 1990s, stuff was manufactured and assembled in all sorts of places - maybe Macau, maybe Mexico, maybe Indonesia, and of course maybe "China" proper. Some things were even still made in the USA - but in the late 1990s and 2000s, most of your small plastic men came from China. Hot Wheels moved to Malaysia, because China won't allow any foreign entity to completely own a factory - Mattel runs the show in Malaysia, and as such can more tightly control whatever labor or manufacturing techniques keep the small cars at a dollar after several decades. It's really quite amazing.

China is a de-facto one-stop shop for manufacturing - you can get screws, packaging, product, and raw materials pretty closely together. This has resulted in the rise of the middle class (as your high school teachers predicted as one of two default answers to almost any question), meaning higher wages and an appetite for more interesting goods. Companies therefore need to keep moving to keep costs down with lower wages or different regulations, or different quality control, or diversity in case one country's ports get clogged and you want to make sure you've got something. Transformers mostly moved to Vietnam a few years ago for new stuff, some of the older tools are still in China so be sure to check your various Platinum items with older molds and reissues to see where those came from. New stuff is coming from Vietnam with few to no exceptions, as far as I can tell. The toys are simpler and, in many ways, cheaper.

India has worked with Hasbro before (Funskool's G.I. Joe line comes to mind) so seeing things like this mean we're hopefully going to see them ratcheting up their options and hopefully continuing to deliver us all consistent wares at hopefully not-increasing prices. They make some changes based on freight, but thanks to trade agreements and other loopholes we could even see returns to some of the odder manufacturing techniques of the 1990s, such as an item being manufactured in Asia, assembled and/or packaged and Mexico, and shipped to the United States for sale. It's a strange, newish world.

Also, check out this unpackaged shots of Optimus Prime. The clear door kibble works on the robot mode, but is pretty dreadful on the vehicle. Here's hoping this is the "GOODBYE, MEGATRON" set for these molds and we get something new next year. I'd wager that this set is going to be $70-$90 if/when it hits the USA, but let's wait and see.

These are blurry photos of preproduction stuff, so things like the absence of Chromedome's body do not necessarily mean he won't have one. Or that these are necessarily confirmed, but betting men and women will probably get a chance to cash in come Toy Fair around Valentine's Day next month.

NETFLIX CONTINUES TO EXPAND ITS AWARDWINNING KIDS ORIGINAL SERIES FOR MEMBERS WORLDWIDE

Beverly Hills, Calif., January 28 , 2016 - Continuing its investment in original content for kids of all ages, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world's leading Internet TV network, is adding three new original series to its lineup. Suspenseful drama The Greenhouse expands the live action category for tweens that currently includes Degrassi: Next Class, Lost & Found Music Studios and Project Mc2. The iconic Hasbro brand Stretch Armstrong will make its television debut with an all new look in an animated series. A musical update to the new Lalaloopsy series joins a growing portfolio of shows created to engage and pique the curiosity of young kids. All episodes from each new series will launch on Netflix at the same time around the world.

"With roughly half of our 75 million members regularly watching kids content, we're happy to expand our original slate with these three great series," said Andy Yeatman, Director of Global Kids Content for Netflix. "We know kids love Netflix and that's in part because they never really outgrow us. We program and recommend new TV shows and movies from preschool through their teen years and into adulthood."
